Anger at Marley reburial plan

Bob Marley

Jamaicans reacted angrily to plans by Bob Marley's widow to exhume the reggae legend's remains and rebury them in Ethiopia, an African country holy to Rastafarians, saying it would rob the Caribbean island of its national heritage.

The news ignited radio talkback and internet chatrooms, with most people coming down strongly against moving the remains of the singer, who died of cancer in 1981 at age 36.

Rita Marley said she was working on bringing her husband's remains to his "spiritual resting place".
